Human activities accelerated the degradation of saline seepweed red beaches by amplifying top‐down and bottom‐up forces [PDF]
, 2018 Salt marshes dominated by saline seepweed (Suaeda heteroptera) provide important ecosystem services such as sequestering carbon (blue carbon), maintaining healthy fisheries, and protecting shorelines. These salt marshes also constitute stunning red beach

Climate Change Impacts on Rural Poverty in Low-Elevation Coastal Zones [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2015 This paper identifies the low-elevation coastal zone populations and developing regions most vulnerable to sea-level rise and other coastal hazards, such as storm surges, coastal erosion, and salt-water intrusion. The focus is on the rural poor in the low-elevation coastal zone, as their economic livelihoods are especially endangered directly by ...

Ant Diversity Declines with Increasing Elevation along the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania
Diversity, 2022 Biodiversity patterns along elevational gradients are generally characterised by monotonic decreases or mid-elevational peaks in species richness, while elevational zones may be characterised by distinct assemblages, or higher zones may be subsets of ...

Grasshoppers’ adaptation to elevated radioactivity in the Chernobyl exclusion zone [PDF]
, 2013 The explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 was categorized as the most severe nuclear accident in history, resulting in some of the most radioactively contaminated habitats on Earth. The consequence was an increased mutation and mortality rate in biota, which caused major damage on the ecosystem level, observed as local extinction and ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]
, 2007 Four tributaries of Panmah Glacier have surged in less than a decade, three in quick succession between 2001 and 2005. Since 1985, 13 surges have been recorded in the Karakoram Himalaya, more than in any comparable period since the 1850s.
